Cal-Maine Foods Financial Ratios 2026-2009 | CALM

Brief overview of Cal-Maine Foods's multiples and efficiency

This overview follows the five latest available observations from 2021 through 2025.

Key multiples at the end of the period are P/E 4.18x (median 11.37x), EV/EBITDA 69.07x (median 19.51x), P/S 1.2x (median 1.23x). The multiple basket looks neutral against its history, differing from median levels by roughly -2.8%.

Current earnings relative to valuation equal about 23.9% on the 1/P/E measure. This is a valuation reference, not an expected payout.

Current measures of operating quality are ROE 47.6%, ROA 39.6%, ROCE 60%. Returns on capital and assets point to efficient economics and a strong internal source of growth.

A shorter cycle, from 84.2 days to 47.4 days, indicates faster release of cash from operations.

Valuation takeaway

Cal-Maine Foods's market valuation is near its own historical norm, while quality ratios provide no extreme signal.

Multiples are an important financial analysis tool for the company Cal-Maine Foods, allowing investors and analysts to quickly assess the company’s value and investment attractiveness based on the ratio of market indicators to the company’s financial performance. Essentially, multiples express how the market values the company relative to its earnings, revenue, equity, or other key metrics.

Advantages of Using Financial Ratios
  • Simplified Data Analysis
    Financial ratios transform large volumes of accounting data into compact and easily interpretable indicators, significantly simplifying the assessment of the company’s condition.
  • Comparability Between Companies
    Multiples standardize financial metrics, enabling objective comparison of companies of different sizes, industries, and market capitalizations.
  • Identification of Trends and Issues
    Regular analysis of ratios helps track the dynamics of financial health, identify strengths and weaknesses of the business, as well as potential risks.
  • Decision Support
    Financial multiples serve as an important tool for investors, creditors, and company management in making investment, credit, and managerial decisions.
  • Accelerated Assessment of Investment Attractiveness
    Ratios allow quick determination of key performance, liquidity, and financial stability indicators, facilitating prompt evaluation of companies’ attractiveness for investments.

Using multiples enables comparison between companies, even if they differ in size or industry, as they standardize financial data into ratios convenient for analysis. This is especially useful for evaluating companies where direct analysis of financial statements may be complex or require in-depth knowledge.
